    Argentine wifes inches from getting the boot

    The real issue here is that she is so quick to lie to you in order to prioritize her social life over your potential health. Huge red flags. "No pasa nada?" Tell that to the people in Italy. Looks like you have some soul searching to do to see if this is somebody you want around for the rest...

    Receiving cash from other countries in BA amid quarantine?

    Does anyone know if there is still a way to send money here from the other countries? Is Western Union still operating? I can still pay with credit card or take cash out of the ATM as a last resort but I'd rather not do that for obvious reasons.

    I'll go. I'll probably arrive closer to 5 because I have to work but I'll be there.

    New Year Eve Party (Gala) in Buenos Aires?

    That Alvear Icon one was definitely the best option for me. I called them... All full... I may show up at the hotel and try to Argentine my way in there with my backup plan being somewhere else in Puerto Madero.

    New Year Eve Party (Gala) in Buenos Aires?

    Yes, it appears you are correct. At least that is what I see the more I investigate. It doesn't look like I will find my New York City style party here. Still some good suggestions in that Clarin article Rich One posted. I will probably just do a dinner party thing then try to find a cool...

    New Year Eve Party (Gala) in Buenos Aires?

    I'm a thirty-something single guy trying to find a fancy New Years Eve party here in Buenos Aires. My idea is a formal party at a fancy hotel or a rooftop gala that will be fun and energetic but not be a "boliche" experience full of obnoxious 20 year olds. Anyone have any ideas they can pass...

    There we go again

    I understand your point to this but unfortunately the world is not so black and white. I have traveled the world, done business in other countries, and worked as a diplomat so I have a unique insight to how things work that most normal people don't. In the real world money becomes leverage...

    There we go again

    Are you an Expat or do you just come on this site to troll Expats? I saw the video where they were pouring out milk but it doesn't explain why they did it. That milk could have been contaminated. Is there proof they did it on purpose? In the USA we had to do the same thing due to chemical...

    Couple of questions about long term rentals

    I'm not exactly clear on the rules for diplomats and if they differ from regular people but in my lease I have it in the contract that I can brake it with only 30 days notice and under no penalty. This includes the first six months. I doubt your owner will agree to the terms that I have but...

    Couple of questions about long term rentals

    No, the "reserva" is only put down so that they know you are serious about negotiating. From there you negotiate, but if terms are not accepted by the owner then you get your money back. If you and the owner accept terms then you will sign something with all the terms listed and a closing...

    What should we bring?

    First off, I would NEVER retire here, but if I had to I would definitely retire in Capital Federal. It's an overcrowded stressful nightmare of a place filled with a lot of people who are racist and only care about themselves. I realize that is a generalization but its pretty accurate. I would...

    Just moved to Buenos Aires

    Im with everyone else. DO NOT move to San Telmo. That is a place to visit one sunday for the street fair. Puerto Madero is nice but very expensive. It is also not very centrally located. Palermo north of santa fe is where you want to be. Trust me. That or Las Canitas. Ill be happy to show you...
